AFROBEATS TALK: The $2 Billion Visual Empire & ₦58 Billion Royalties Boom

Afrobeats isn’t just a sound anymore — it’s a global industry. With music visuals now worth over $2 billion and royalties hitting ₦58 billion in 2024, the scene is hotter than ever. But the big questions remain.

Which Nigerian artist released the best music video in the last 18 months with the most outstanding fashion, choreography, and overall production? Was it Burna Boy’s “City Boys”, Ayra Starr’s “Commas”, Rema’s “Charm”, or Asake’s “Lonely at the Top”?

If you had ₦1 billion to invest, who is that one emerging Afrobeats artist you’d bet on for 2025? Would it be Bloody Civilian, Odumodublvck, Qing Madi, or Shallipopi?

Who currently reigns as the King or Queen of Afrobeats on YouTube based purely on their video strategy, visuals, and subscriber strength? Davido, Burna Boy, Rema, Ayra Starr, or Tems?

And of course, every Afrobeats lover has that one lyric that lives rent-free in their head. Drop your favorite line and the artist below — let’s see which one gets the most love!
